These three African lion cubs at the ¾Õ»¨ÊÓÆµâ€™s Bronx Zoo need names. Go to and help give them their identity. Here, the cubs playfully run around with each other, as mom, Sukari, and dad, M’wasi, closely watch. Born in January, these adorable cubs love exploring their African Plains exhibit. A recent study showed there are less than 29,000 lions left in Africa; most of these are living in protected areas and reserves. ÌýWCS conservation field staff is on the ground working to protect wildlife and these wild lands in Africa and around the world.
